I cook pinto beans and keep in the freezer, so this made my cock time shorter. After reading other reviews, I too used Rotel instead of fresh tomatoes and jalapenos. Didn't have Mexican oregano, so I used the dried I had. Almost took the dish in the wrong direction. Next time I will use cumin and corriander instead. Overall it was a good bean dish. I am just not a fan of spicy hot. Even though the Rotel was the original and not the hot, it was still too hot for me. Think I'll go with the fresh tomatoes and jalapeno next time.

I made them as directed. I used Mississippi Mud for the dark beer. My friends love them and took left over?s home with them.

When i first saw 1 hour cook time, i laughed because i come from a mexican family and no way they come out ready in 1 hour. I also used rotella instead of tomatoes and used 2 raw jalapenos. I also used corona instead of dark beer and added cut up bacon, cut up hot dogs, pork cracklings and chorizo to it and used a crock pot and let them marry each other. in 5 hours perfect bliss and rave reviews.

I made these in my slow cooker. There is no way to cook a dry pinto bean to an edible state in one hour unless you use a pressure cooker. These beans were excellent, but I cooked them for about five hours, on cinco de mayo. My guest wanted to know what state the beans started in and I told her dried. She was very surprised that only after five hours they were tender and ready to eat.

The flavor was delicious, but in no way are the beans done in one hour from a dry state on the stove. I recommend allowing more time for the beans to simmer (2+ hours in the beer/broth. Also, I had a ham hock in the freezer and threw that in--yum!--and I used Rotel tomatoes/chilies combination (mild.

Easy and tasty, plus they make the kitchen smell great while they're cooking! Try them in a slow cooker for a no-fuss meal.
